Please do not misquote Magritte. His painting of a pipe is not a pipe.

I didn't put quotes around the words and was paraphrasing what he said the 1929 his "La Trahison des Images". ... Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

it's as true now as it was then, and currently many photographs aren't photographs ..

If we want to dwell on “Ceci n’est pas use pipe,” while the meaning of the phrase was, as discussed here, the difference between an object and the image of the object, it was also a pun in French. Native French speakers recognized that the word “pipe” meant the pipe one smokes, but was also a slang word for the sexual act of fellatio. Lost in translation …

So, its other meaning is "This is not a blowjob"??! Hilarious.

Giclée is another term with more than one root meaning, having been derived from a French noun for a spurt of some liquid.
